Here's one to tug at the ol' heartstrings - 71-year-old Star Trek star George Takei has married his partner of 21 years in a gay marriage in Los Angeles.
Just months ago, George posted on his official website that he was thrilled to finally be able to marry his partner, thanks to new laws allowing gay marriage in California.
"Our California dream is reality," he wrote. "Brad Altman and I can now marry. We are overjoyed! At long last, the barrier to full marriage rights for same-sex couples has been torn down. We are equal with all citizens of our state!"
On Sunday night, George and Brad were married at the Japanese National Museum that featured a Buddhist priest, Native American wedding bands, a Japanese Koto harp and a procession of bagpipes. Pretty rad.
To make things even awesomer, they made their entrance to the song 'One Singular Sensation' from A Chorus Line.
Check out the happy couple leaving the ceremony with a bagpipe-playing pal - sweet matching tuxes, guys!
At last: George and Brad after their wedding in Los Angeles
The pair became the first high-profile gay couple to get a marriage licence in California after the new laws came into effect. Portia and Ellen beat them to the altar, however.
